Erase the Pain
Erase The Pain
I drowned my pain in a torrent of pills,
Until pain was all I knew.
Cheap wine, cheap drugs, become expensive thrills.
The beautiful absence of mind and soul,
An endless pit which will bury you whole.
Claw your way out, on your minds dirt you'll chew.
Down the rabbit hole buried in despair,
Like Alice I was alone and lost.
Needing respite to allow my soul to repair,
Mad as a hatter, head crazy with chatter,
Sink lower under velvet hammer and mind shatter.
Eternal quiet, erase the pain, peace, pay the cost.
